[Tigers] non Tiger-battery

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Thanks to all. I will try the dialectic grease.   I have the felt washers, 
and you're right, they do nothing.

Mark,

I don't know the exact scientific explanation, but the  preventative is to
keep air from getting to the terminals. 

I now  use the same dialectic grease I put on spark plug terminals. Though a
bit  messy, the old-fashioned yellowish-brown wheel bearing grease used to
work  very well, but I haven't been able to find it for years.

I seldom have  to clean terminals between battery replacements as long as I
renew the  dialectic grease occasionally. The red and green felt washers the
parts  stores always try to sell you with a battery have never worked for
me..
